After Swami Prasad Maurya’s revolt, daughter Sanghmitra braces for more challenges ahead as a BJP MP

While prominent UP OBC leader Swami Prasad Maurya joined Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party (SP) on Friday after resigning as a minister in the Yogi Adityanath government, the political journey of his daughter, BJP MP from Badaun, Sanghmitra Maurya appears to be becomes more challenging now.

Maurya has been in the spotlight after becoming the first UP minister to raise the flag against the ruling BJP. He joined the SP along with his son Utkrist, vowing to overthrow the Saffron Party in the upcoming UP General Assembly elections.

With her father and her brother both now Saffron rebels, the 37-year-old Sangmitra is now bracing for some political turmoil amid the choppy waters of UP politics, despite her decision to stay on as BJP MP. A few years ago, Sangmitra followed in her father’s footsteps into politics, leaving her career as an MBBS doctor. She originally worked at BSP with her father and brother.

In the 2014 Lok Sabha election, Sanghmitra had contested BSP votes with SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav in Mainpuri constituency but lost the polls. She joined Maurya and Utkrist when they switched from BSP to BJP in 2016.

Far from her father’s stronghold in the eastern UP, Sanghmitra ran in the election as a BJP candidate from traditional SP stronghold Badaun in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and won the seat by defeating Akhilesh Yadav’s cousin Dharmendea Yadav.

During last year’s parliamentary monsoon session, Sangmitra made a splash by raising demand for a caste-based census, putting the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in limbo.

After Maurya and Utkrist defected from the BJP, Sanghmitra admitted that her road ahead will be difficult as the ordinary people of the BJP will continue to target them and wage their rebellion. However, she insisted that she would continue to carry out her duties as a BJP MP.
